Lead On, O King Eternal
Author: Ernest W. Shurtleff Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 396 hymnals Topics: Christian Education Lyrics: 1 Lead on, O King Eternal,
The day of march has come;
Henceforth in fields of conquest
Thy tents shall be our home.
Through days of preparation
Your grace has made us strong,
And now, O King Eternal,
We lift our battle song.
2 Lead on, O King Eternal,
Till sin's fierce war shall cease,
And holiness shall whisper
The sweet Amen of peace;
For not with swords loud clashing,
Nor roll of stirring drums,
With deeds of love and mercy
The heav'nly kingdom comes.
3 Lead on, O King Eternal,
We follow, not with fears;
For gladness breaks like morning
Where'er Your face appears;
Thy cross is lifted o'er us;
We journey in its light:
The crown awaits the conquest;
Lead on, O God of might.
Amen.

of heav'nly love:
while in our mortal pain,
none calls on you in vain;
help you do not disdain,
help from above.

our Shepherd and our pride,
our staff and song:
Jesus, O Christ of God,
by your enduring Word,
lead us where you have trod;
make our faith strong.

sound we your praises high,
and joyful sing:
infants and the glad throng
who to your church belong

O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee

By some clear, winning word of love;
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way.

In closer, dearer company,
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong;
4 In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future's broadening way,
In peace that only Thou canst give,
With Thee, O Master, let me live.

share your children's liberty:

"Father, what they do, forgive."
Yet we hoard as private treasure
all that you so freely give.

to a just society:
With the Spirit's gifts empower
us for the work of ministry.

the palace of a king,

their rich, abundant increase yield,
and blessings multiply;
when plenty all thy children share,
and no invading foe is there,
and no distressful cry,
and no distressful cry.

to whom the Lord with lib'ral hand
has thus his goodness shown;
yea, surely is that people blest
by whom Jehovah is confessed
to be their God alone,
to be their God alone.

That guides us all the day,
And through the dangers of the night
A lamp to lead our way.

And these your servants night and day
Your skill and pow'r express.

Have lessons more divine;
Not earth stands firmer than your Word
Nor stars so nobly shine.

How pure is ev'ry page!
That holy Book will guide our youth
And well support our age. Used With Tune: ST. PETER

Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 407 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Christian Education Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for his bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ, her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all,
And his shelter was a stable,
And his cradle was a stall:
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Savior holy.
3 Jesus is our childhood's pattern,
Day by day like us he grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles like us he knew:
And He comforts us in sadness,
And He shares in all our gladness.
4 And our eyes at last shall see him,
Through his own redeeming love;
For that child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above,
And he leads his children on
To the place where he is gone.
Amen. Scripture: John 7:40-44 Used With Tune: IRBY

In kindling thought and glowing word,

Until Thy blessed face I see,
Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share.

Christ, the true, the only light,
Sun of righteousness, arise,
Triumph o'er the shades of night;

Unaccompanied by thee;
Joyless is the day's return
Till thy mercy's beams I see,
Till they inward light impart,
Glad my eyes and warm my heart.

Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill me, Radiancy divine;
Scatter all my unbelief;
More and more thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day.
